@jonching_ Mind you, when the texture is reprojected over the top of the added geometry it does look pretty cool when zoomed out. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've been posting a few minimaps or "pucks" after making them with an app I built using Claude, Three.js, Google, ESRI and OpenTopography.
Very straightforward: scroll around the world map or search for a location, pick an area of interest, line it up in the frame and hit capture. Then just make some adjustments and export an image, orbiting video or an .stl.
Just another cool way to explore and share the world. Hope to make it live after improving the experience.

@jonching_ I love Hoi An. Right now it's really only suited to areas with dramatic / strong topographic relief. As for buildings, there is OSM data for building shapes that can be pulled in but they are just primitive shapes. Did a quick test, take a look.
